About Fougères

"I'm a physician who has always been a gardener and a frustrated would-be landscape architect and garden designer. First gardening in my parents garden, then on various balconies and fire-escapes, rental house and starter home gardens, and now, finally, in a wonderful courtyard garden behind a home on a quiet cul-de-sac in San Antonio ~ maybe my second career is just around the corner?"
